In November of 1987, Sifu Haase was given permission to open a Wah Lum club in Palm Bay, Florida. Where he soon began to train numerous students in the traditional art of Kung Fu. After teaching in a club atmosphere for five years, shifu Haase then decided to open a full time school. So, on August 4th, 1992 Sifu Haase and his wife Cynthia opened the Wah Lum Kung Fu of Merritt Island, Florida, school.
The school continued to grow and prosper and after five years shifu Chan Poi asked shifu Haase if he would open a school in Tampa. He currently teaches Hua Lin Tang Lang in Tampa, Florida (USA).
